Summary: The Campanha region of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil, has large areas of natural fields destined to livestock. In this agro ecosystem, the dung beetle actuation as controllers of cattle parasites, by dung bovine decomposition utilized for alimentary and nidification resources, is important. A survey of copronecrophagous Scarabaeidae species occurrence in natural fields of southern Brazil was carried out from December of 2006 to November of 2007. Eight pitfall traps were assembled, using human dung and bovine liver in decomposition as bates. A total of 565 dung beetles, belonging to 18 species, were collected, with most prominence to Onthophagus hirculus and Canthon ornatus bipunctatus. The coprophagy was the most frequent feeding habit among species. Onthophagus hirculus, Canthon ornatus bipunctatus, Ontherus sulcator e Canthidium moestum are the species with greater potential to be utilized in cattle dung management in the south region of Rio Grande do Sul.

Neste agroecossistema, destaca-se a atuação dos besouros rola-bosta como controladores de parasitos bovinos. Estes insetos desestruturam as massas fecais, utilizando-as como recurso na alimentação e nidificação. Foi realizado um inventário das espécies de Scarabaeidae copro-necrófagas num campo natural na Embrapa Pecuária Sul, Bagé, entre dezembro de 2006 e novembro de 2007. Foram utilizadas oito armadilhas pitfall, usando como iscas fezes humanas e fígado bovino em decomposição. Foram capturados 565 besouros de 18 espécies, com destaque para Onthophagus hirculus e Canthon ornatus bipunctatus. A coprofagia foi o hábito alimentar mais freqüente entre as espécies. O. hirculus, C. ornatus bipunctatus, Ontherus sulcator e Canthidium moestum foram as espécies com maior potencial para serem utilizadas no manejo de dejetos de bovinos na região sul do Rio Grande do Sul.Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina2008-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/5347Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; Vol. 7 No. 2 (2008); 143-149Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias; v. 7 n. 2 (2008); 143-1492238-1171reponame:Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online)instname:Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)instacron:UDESCporhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/article/view/5347/3553Silva, Pedro Giovâni daGarcia, Mário André da RosaVidal, Mariana Brasilinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-07-01T14:54:21Zoai::article/5347Revistahttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/PUBhttps://periodicos.udesc.br/index.php/agroveterinaria/oairca.cav@udesc.br | portal.periodicos@udesc.brhttps://doi.org/10.5965/223811712238-11711676-9732opendoar:2022-07-01T14:54:21Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias (Online) - Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC)false
